According to the details, a team of ten Nepali climbers has achieved the historic feat of climbing the second highest peak in the world at 8611 meters high in the bitter cold of minus 50 degrees Celsius.
For the first time in the history of the world’s second-highest K2, a 10-member Nepali team of Pakistani mountaineers climbed in the winter.
Pakistani mountaineer Muhammad Ali Sadpara and his son Sajid Sadpara were also part of the adventure with the K2 head team.
Thirteen of the world’s 14 highest peaks have been climbed in winter, but K2 has been climbed for the first time in winter.
It may be recalled that climbers from Slovenia, Nepal, China and Iceland, including Pakistan, have come to Pakistan this year on a campaign to reach the summit of K2 in winter.
